The Grinnell College Preschool serves both Grinnell College and the community of Grinnell. The program helps children develop a positive self-image and learn basic skills necessary to successful school performance, particularly through socialization with other children, creative play opportunities, and experience with the basic materials and media of creative self-expression. The program is committed to providing an innovative curriculum, developmentally appropriate materials and activities and a low adult/child ratio. Grinnell College students also gain experience with children through class assignments, volunteer opportunities and as a part of the teaching team. Grinnell College Preschool provides equal care to all children regardless of race, color, religion, origin or disability.
